    Author: Westesson PL, Rohlin M.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1984 Jan; 57(1):17-22. PubMed ID: 6582426.
    Abstract:
    In 127 temporomandibular joint autopsy specimens the position (superior 44%, partially anterior 22%, completely anterior 34%) and configuration of the disk (biconcave 56%, biconvex 10%, others 34%) were related to osteoarthrosis. All biconvex disks were positioned anteriorly and associated with osteoarthrosis. Biconcave disks were mostly positioned superiorly and associated with normal surfaces.
